If I Were Donald Trump, my opening statement in the debate would be...

"Tonight’s debate is not a debate and you all know it. By “you,” I mean, those watching this, both political parties, the media, and of course me and my team.

Rather, this is to be an exercise in trashing me and my candidacy. The questions will be designed to prove to you that I am not worthy to be your president. Both the moderator and my opponent have no doubt spent weeks trying to think up questions to trip me up like Gary Johnson was recently tripped up by a question about Aleppo and other ways they can assassinate my character and impugn my intentions.

Moreover, virtually the whole world watching knows the truly unworthy candidate in this race is my opponent. She has been front and center in scandals her entire political life: Whitewater, cattle futures, bimbo eruptions, Travelgate, Rose law firm billing records, Benghazi, private home brew servers and classified emails, pay to play and the Clinton Foundation, etc. Most recently, we found out five of her aids have been granted immunity. I do not need to tell you: non-criminals do not need immunity.

So, this is not a debate and is not intended to be fair and accordingly, I refuse to play along. Here’s what I plan to do. I am telling you the audience and both the moderator and my opponent; this debate is 90 minutes long and I should have about half of that to speak to you about what I plan to do if you elect me your president. No matter what I am asked or what my opponent says, I am going to pretty much ignore them and simply use my time to lay out my vision for America. I thank you for taking some of your valuable time tonight to listen to my message."

"If I am elected President my first order of business is to see that crooked Hillary with her long list of crimes against America is brought to trial and convicted of her crimes."

"Thank you."

He would sound like the biggest crybaby in the world and if you ever make a movie, it’s great. In real life, it’s awful.

100 million people are watching a debate, not some offer that NO ONE is going to go for.

You said in a thousand words what Reagan would have Trump say in four: “There they(you) go again”

This is not a debate. This is the most important election since the founding of our Republic. This is the turning point on whether freedom and liberty will prevail over evil and tyranny. Whether the rule of law or the rule of man will prevail. Etc.

The fact that Clinton always wants to change the rules of the debate reflects poorly on her, and her party is losing members and even democrats are jumping ship.

If he turns around and changes it himself it will only reflect what those undecideds are already thinking : A Trump presidency won’t follow any rules.

Trump has always dominated the scene by being who he is. He learns the rules, then he honestly masters the game. With all of those real estate transactions in MANFREAKINHATTIN this guy is still squeaky clean.

That says something.

That’s good, but I would not do it.

I think the whole election is “are you better off than you were eight years ago? Is your country better off than she was eight years ago?”

I would repeat that over and over, wrap Obama around Hillary’s neck, don’t stop until November 8, and forget the rest.

“........the Establishment would have a conniption fit”..........

Let them have all the fits they can handle. Trump needs to speak directly to the American people not to the media or to hitlary. No doubt, should he deviate from the selected “menu” of gottsha questions, he will be cut off by commercials and pulled plugs, etc. His message WILL NOT be televised or heard. Unfortunately, Trump is correct when he says the “debates” and the system are rigged, as is the entire pending election process.

It is no time for whining about the fairness of one debate when the survival of government of the people by the people and for the people is at stake.

Absolute wrong approach. He’d be playing right into their hands. Never get into a pi$$ing contest with a skunk. Trump just needs to play along, and as each question comes up, answer very briefly and then segue into a statement covering your points, several in each answer.

You're right...but it wouldn't be wise for him to do it.He needs to sound...and look...Presidential.Not like a victim.Hillary's got the victim thing all wrapped up and you can't have *two* victims in a two man race.

Cool...calm....clear....concise...dignified.That should be his goal.If he does that her victim thing will fall flat.
